"I chose your residency program over others for several reasons. First, one of my college professors was a resident in your preventive medicine program and highly recommended the training and guidance he received. Secondly, your program was ranked number one based on student activity reported in the AMA Residency and Fellowship database. After researching your program in greater depth, I decided this is the program I want to attend."
